Hello everyone ! Today I'm going to talk about ulzzang makeup :D
Ulzzang means best face. They are basically really pretty/ handsome people, or we could say people with "above average look"
They're usually Korean ( but sometimes Chinese/ Japanese).
But everyone could become an ulzzang even if they're not Korean and such too ! so don't worry :D
These are the
keys to become an ulzzang :
1. Face
Having fair skin is everything in Korea .Korean just love "perfection" And this also goes for ulzzzang makeup.
They usually use BB cream for the base makeup. But now CC (color correcting) cream is widely used. CC cream has lighter coverage, and looks way natural on skin.. but BB cream covers imperfection better.
But before even they use make up on, their skin condition is already really good to begin with ! They really took care of their skin, and their skin care routine is way complicated. They use lots of skin treatment. More than just "Cleanse-Tone-Moisturize" It's needed to have porcelain doll like skin :D You can also use primer before bb cream,. Primer can cover pores, makes bb cream last longer and also make your skin looks smoother and more even !
Korean loves V shape jawline, so it's better to
highlight & contour if you don't have V jawline.
You can also use blush (but don't use it too much, since they also don't really use it anyway)
But
Naturalness is the key. And ulzzang style makeup is a really great example for no makeup- makeup( that I just really love!)
Tips : Use makeup brushes for even better coverage. And don't forget to erase completely any imperfection ! Also be careful when you're picking your bb cream/ foundie shade, choose the right shade that close to your skin tone :) And don't forget to apply bb cream on your neck too !
2. Eye makeup + Brow
Before you head to eye makeup, the first thing you'll need is circle lenses. Circle lenses is used to make the eyes looks bigger and more "dollish" .Circle lenses comes in variety color, but the most common one that is used is the black one, and followed by the brown one.
They don't really use fake eyelashes, but if they use it they'll use the natural type eyelashes. And the next thing that is really important is eyeliner. To line the outer liner with black/ brown eyeliner, will make the eyes looks even bigger and more stand out. Eye shadow is optional, but stick to natural colour such as brown and beige. And It's even better to use eyelid glue to make double eyelid ;)
Ulzzang stick to straight eyebrow. Use eyeshadow/ brow powder + brow gel to neaten your eyebrow. ( pick brown/ grey colour)
Tips : Use pearl/ white eyeshadow in your inner corner so your eyes looks more dollish. Also try to accentuate your eye bags ( aegyo sal) so they looks more stand out with a bit of brown eyeshadow/ highlighter in the middle of the eyes ( Aegyo sal makes you look even more youthful and cuter!) And now etude house has cute eye maker.. makeup product to make non permanent aegyosal.
3. Lips
Ulzzang usually has thin lips with natural pinkish colour. Another popular lip color is "just bitten" lips/ gradient lips . First you need to apply lip balm before you use lip tint (and let it sit for a while) because lip tint is really really drying. Then you can use lip concealer (to even out your lips colour and make the lip tint colour more vibrant) After that you use lip tint in the inner corner of your lips, then you can use lip gloss in the top of it. You can also use lipstick in exchange for lip tint.
Tips : You can change lip concealer with bb cream/ foundation. Then it's better to exfoliate before, so the product works better (and also looks better!)
Hope this helps ! Have a good day :)
With love,
Elle ~
